Blanche Steals Bondi's Brown Nose
Dignity is for suckers.
Pam Bondi’s public toadying was so unseemly that she turned herself into a South Park meme about brown nosing. But in his very first press conference as Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche may have bested her performance.
Upon Bondi’s unceremonious exit, the contestants for America’s Next Top Prosecutor immediately began jockeying for position. Blanche, who’s been Deputy Attorney General for 14 months and is now Acting AG, looks to be the one to beat — despite having been the man with has hands on the wheel during Bondi’s entire, disastrous tenure. On the other hand, the competition includes Alina Habba and Jeanine Pirro, so …
But Blanche isn’t just vying to out-sycophant the competition by professing his slavish adoration. He’s also making patently false statements about the propriety of the president weaponizing the Justice Department to smite his political enemies. In Blanche’s telling, justice has never been blind, nor should it be.
“That is the most false statement I’ve ever heard in my life,” he scoffed, when someone pointed out that there has traditionally been a firewall between the White House and DOJ.
That’s horse shit. And it’s horse shit Blanche himself called out just two years ago.
